I got a catalog in the mail yesterday. I was excited, because it looked like one of the kinds that my mom gets… you know.. the ones that have household gadgets and sparkly things and funny shirts. I was so excited to look at it.
When I looked inside, I saw that it was a toy catalog. Disappointment. I looked at it anyway. But it was strange… there were no prices. You’re supposed to scan the pictures or something and then just order online. Weird.
This falls under the “If you have to ask what it costs, you can’t afford it” thing, doesn’t it? How very odd! The cover is charming, though.
I have several Discount School Supplies catalogs in my classroom and the children love to look through them. The prices are the best part. When they find something they love and ask if I will get it, I say, “Do you have $49.99? Sure!” I am often assured that they have millions of dollars, so we’re good.
